Sweet Glazed Salmon
Honey is naturally acidic, so the simple rub used for this salmon creates tender flesh and a lovely golden crust. Different types of honey will impart unique flavors to the fish, such as a floral accent from clover honey or a more robust taste from buckwheat honey.

Cooking Tip
The trick to a perfect coating is to pat the fish completely dry before applying the honey. You can increase the amount of protein in this dish by eating 4 ounces of salmon instead of 3 ounces.
